Poetry On Odyssey: Miracles

A receiving mind does not have to decide or plan.

Poetry On Odyssey: Miracles
Sarah Thompson

From time to time I try my best to get into podcasts. They're a great way to learn and understand different concepts from another person's perspective. Going back, one of my friends randomly sent me this podcast episode called, Opening Your Life to Miracles in 365 Days by Mind Love.

If you are someone who bases their spiritual life off the universe rather than a specific god or religion, you might really enjoy this one. Besides being eye-opening, it was inspiring and actually, comforting. Here is a poem I wrote that essentially sums up what I have learned from Opening Your Life to Miracles in 365 Days.


A mind at peace

is in communication with energy.

it's all just a dream anyway.

What we have created ourselves to be

is not really who we are.

We are moving when we're conscious

and waking up.

We move from a HUMAN to BEING.

We have dreams within dreams within dreams.

We could call this reincarnation.

It's just a concept to help us find our way.

Mythologies to help us awaken to the truth inside.

I am not just a busy person checking things off my to-do list,

I am the energy that is alive,

not just in my body,

but all around.

I am powered by the source.

Replacing God with the source.

The spiritual law that giving is receiving.

The other half of giving

is the vulnerability

and the ability to receive.

Being a receiver of spirit

allows us to not really make decisions,

but be guided such as a flowing river.

A receiving mind does not have to decide or plan.

Where to begin

Acknowledge everything,

acknowledge everything you feel.

The body becomes your spiritual guider.

Admit every feeling even the negative ones.

Then, they clear.

Embodied spirituality.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
